Copyright law not Whalen’s specialty

When Republican candidate Jennifer Whalen handed us the newest doorhanger her campaign is distributing, we thought the photo of incumbent Democrat Bob Reilly on it looked awfully familiar.

He’s holding his finger in the air, and the light glowing behind him is a familiar sight in the backdrop of photographs taken at the Times Union. It’s the sunshine pouring through the cinderblock that surrounds our abode.

A quick check in the photo files showed the photo was taken by our own Skip Dickstein and, no, the Whalen campaign didn’t get permission to use it.

This is the same crew of characters that helped the town hit the skids and its obvious they have not changed the way they do business. Do what ever it takes no matter what just to get someone elected. Just shows she is not in charge of anything or as an attorney she would have said something. (or maybe she did and did not care).

Poor judgement and not crossing the t”s and dotting the i’s certainly does not bode well for Miss Whalen’s ability to be a Member of the Assembly.
It should also be noted that Bob Reilly’s former opponent and his predecessor in the Assembly, Bob Prentiss has publicly endorsed him in this race.

Common Sense (that really is funny)–how is Whalen more qualified (other than the fact she is younger)? She also had a political job with the State when she was an AAG, and has run a pretty nondescript real estate practice more recently.

Typical TU. Instead of reporting real stories, or real issues, they choose to try to help those already in power that will in turn help them. Didn’t Reilly use the same picture in one of his mailers or palm-cards? Why didn’t you call him out? Oh, I know, the TU is biased towards liberal candidates. Tim O’Brien is a Liberal Sean Hannity, only with no following.

Hey this gets better, apparently she doesn’t care about any of these laws because she has placed her signs on a huge amount National Grid telephone poles which is NOT public property.
This person wants to get elected I would suggest they actually show a little respect for the public.
Plus once National Grid rips them down Colonie landfill fills up with this useless garbage.
Thanks again
